First non-clad coins

[YachtCaptain]

Finally got out again today and made a couple decent finds. First was a Buffalo Nickel dated 1918 I think. Then a Danish West Indies Company 10 Bit coin from 1904. Also found a strange little pipe, help identifying it would be appreciated.

Here are a couple pictures:

I believe that is a maple-syrup tree 'tap'.

That's a strange thing to find in the Virgin Islands! Maybe it was used to harvest resin from local trees?

Congrats on some nice finds. The pipe thing does appear to be a tree tap for sap or maple syrup.

Definitely a pirate relic! Congratulations on your finds. I hope to see many posts from some island hopping adventures. You could find anything from any time period.
